Smells Like Teen Spirit (thing)

Kurt even admits that they were trying to rip off The Pixies. (Really, who can blame them.)

"I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it (smiles). When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard."
